What timing.

Easy enough edit on my end to change up my Titans roster, which more than happy to do.

@Ezekiel

Removing Nightwing would be the only think necessary to make them compatible. I had no plans for Starfire.

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T ___________________________________________________________________________________ Blüdhaven. A wretched hive of scum and villainy. A cesspool built from Gotham's runoff, anything that doesn't put roots down in Gotham gets flushed into the city-like sewer known as Blüdhaven. A port town, Blüdhaven got its start as a whaling town before becoming an industrial port. The sky is layered in a thick cloud of smog, while streets are constantly filled with fog due to the miles of antique boiler pipe laid beneath cobblestone streets hastily repaired with asphalt and concrete. But for a brief moment, the city had hope in the form of its very own Bright Knight. Richard 'Dick' Grayson, the former protegé and Robin of Gotham's Batman, outgrew the shadow of his mentor's cape and, after a soul-finding journey, adopted a symbol of rebirth he learned from a distant Romani relative. From the ashes of Robin rose Nightwing, who took to the streets of Blüdhaven, using the best tricks learned from the Bat to inject fear into the superstitious and cowardly lot that preyed on the vulnerable. But years of war against the crimelord known as Blockbuster took their toll, eventually driving Dick Grayson to his breaking point, and in a final confrontation, Dick was left maimed and traumatized while Blockbuster was killed. A former vigilante turned recluse, Dick Grayson has reluctantly enjoyed a simpler life, managing a gymnastics facility and becoming a superintendent over a small apartment complex. However, a new Nightwing has appeared in Blüdhaven, and with it, a trail of bodies, brutally killed by blunt force trauma. Unable to allow his legacy to be tarnished and fear turned against the people of Blüdhaven, Dick is forced out of his mandated retirement. The Bright Knight Returns. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) __________________________________________________________________________________ As most of you already know, Dick Grayson is my favourite character in all of comics, and Batman Beyond was a show I basically grew up on. The idea of combining the two is highly appealing revisiting some of my favourite posts I've written over the years with Terry in the tights and a reluctant Dick playing the role of the guy in the chair. Will Dick recover from his injury? I doubt it, but a story of mistaken identity and legacy is certainly looking like a lot of fun to write while also integrating both Dick and Terry into a larger world that contains allies and foes alike from their respective histories. What you as a reader can expect are episodic posts exploring Terry growing into his new role as the protector of Blüdhaven while Dick is forced to rapidly mature as a mentor and perpetual big brother, founding his own 'Wing-family' with the help of everyone's favourite black sheep, Helena Bertinelli.

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T ___________________________________________________________________________________ The first fifteen years of Peter Parker's life were remarkably normal. The last five have been anything but. When thinking about how I would approach Spider-Man in this new continuity, I found that neither did I want to go with an older, settled-down version nor did I want to strip him down to the studs and leave myself the work of gradually introducing all the classic elements -- which led to this compromise, an in media res approach where we're meeting the character at the beginning of his prime. Five years felt like the sweet spot: enough experience to where Pete feels like he's seen it all, not enough experience to say he actually has. Making Pete a college student also positions him nicely within the larger universe. He's still significantly younger and more immature than the movers and shakers, your Superman/Batman/Captain Americas of the world. At the same time, he's just old enough to mentor the likes of the Teen Titans, Ms. Marvel, and perhaps even a young Miles Morales, should an interested player turn up. This age puts him on a level with folks like Dick Grayson, Barbara Gordon, and Roy Harper, which is great place for someone like Peter to live, in my opinion. As for storytelling, I'm a genre purist. I just want to provide fun, digestible adventures surrounded by all the interpersonal drama we've come to associate with Spider-Man. One of the things that keeps drawing me back to the character is not just Peter himself but the richness of his supporting cast; from love interests to villains, best friends and everything in between, there are so many moving pieces that I can't imagine how anyone could ever get bored. I certainly haven't, and that's why I've deliberately picked a time in Peter's life when his personal circle was the widest -- and that's before we even get into player-to-player interactions, which I intend to more consciously pursue. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) __________________________________________________________________________________ The goal here is less reinvention and more reinvigoration. I want to avoid the malaise that has largely hung over modern Spider-Man comics by returning everyone's favorite wall-crawler back to an earlier time, a cleaner time in his history. While I can find something to love about every era of Peter Parker's life, I truly believe that his Empire State days are unmatched in their storytelling potential: you have the Coffee Bean Gang, the full Daily Bugle crew, Gwen and Mary Jane's Betty & Veronica dynamic, the looming threat of Norman Osborn's relapse, all the classic villains already introduced... It's the ideal pressure cooker to keep Peter on his back foot. Of course, I'm not here just to relive the glory days. While I won't pretend that I'm not already thinking of how to adapt and reinvent classic Spider-Man stories, my main focus is still to leverage the "One Universe" concept to its full potential. There are some DC baddies who'd feel right at home in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man, and I'm particularly keen on seeing how the web-head could interact with a whole new batch of heroes.

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T ___________________________________________________________________________________ You all know I like to try different things in these games these days. I like to experiment with different themes and stories. The one trait I have always followed is my desire to do proper capeshit. Largely Sci-Fi based. This time, we're going in the other direction. Do I need to spell out the exact origin? Frank Castle was raised, joined the military, served in practically every theatre of combat, and eventually became a training officer stateside. Until one day he's sat with his family at a local park having a picnic, where they are caught in the crossfire of a Mafia battle. His family die before his eyes, and a court case prevents him from being deployed. The guilt and the rage eat away at him; the perps walk free on a technicality. The Punisher is born. The Punisher tears through the criminal underworld. Some brand him a vigilante, others a murderer; the authorities call him a terrorist. He singlehandedly tears through the crime family that killed his family in cold blood, then, in the wake of 9/11 he disappears to the Middle East. His sightings inconsistent. Some American Soldiers claim to have been saved by him in the last second in a particularly harrowing ambush, then a week later, miles away, he volunteers to defend a girls' school from insurgents until backup arrives. Occasionally, an allied soldier is killed, but before a manhunt can ensue, evidence is discovered of their abuse and wrongdoing. All sightings end as Frank is recruited to Task Force X, until one day. He has finally had enough, and he retires. Amanda Waller tries to convince him to stay, but fails to intimidate him. The Punisher is doomed to the pages of history, or so he believed. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) __________________________________________________________________________________ I want to tell a different story to the kind I usually do. I have a story planend out in my head, I have story beats and I have little tracks I'm going to go down in the process of telling that wider arching story. Frank is retired, his family, military life and Task Force X days are all behind him, or so he feels. I can't add too much to the backstory due to how I want to tie things in and together, so I hope what I have given is enough to whet some appetites. I will be open to interaction, and all the issues doing so with Punisher includes.

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T ___________________________________________________________________________________ Spider‑Man has been swinging over New York for nearly half his life now, a twenty‑eight‑year‑old veteran hero who still treats every crisis like it’s his responsibility alone. He’s fought most of his rogue gallery at this point and has survived more than he ever admits. Aunt May remains the quiet anchor in his life, along with his long-term partner Mary Jane Watson; the two constants in his life that he protects just as fiercely as the city itself. He’s older, sharper, and a little more tired than the kid who first put on the mask, but the heart of him hasn’t changed. I'm not here to reinvent the wheel with Spidey. We all know who he is. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) __________________________________________________________________________________ I'm just here to write a few short adventures about the wallcrawler, trying to bring together some of the aspects of the mythos that I personally love. He's going to swing around New York, save some lives and punch some bad guys. I'm also keen to do a lot of collaboration. My first "arc" is planned with some breathing room, perfect for him to interact with the various heroes of the city. This is something I'm somewhat missing with Ben, given he's not based in such a popular location normally. Much like MB's concept, this is an older, more experienced, Spidey, so i'm keen to have him pass on some wisdom (even if said wisdom happens to just be the tried and tested "with great power comes great responsibility." Oh, and Big Wheel. I want to write Big Wheel.
